new-lg4ff VS FreeJoy

I found that the above comes in two variants, PS/PC and XBOX/PC. While the former is currently supported via an external driver (new-lg4ff), the latter has native kernel support. While I do expect to have a smoother experience with the native module, the custom driver claims to have a richer feature set than the native hid-logitech module (differences).

Go to the game settings and adjust the FF levels. (Except if you're on Linux, you'll also need the experimental kernel module, as the stock one has only rudimentary FF support).

The people Behind the logitech driver new-lg4ff most logitech wheels work fantastic now.

On Linux there's libratbag/Piper for keyboards and mice and new-lg4ff/Oversteer for steering wheels, if you want to take a look at how they do some things or straight up just fork them and port to Windows.

You want this for your G29 if you haven't already installed it. I will admit that sim racing is a blind spot in Proton's support, but this should at least fix some of the wheel-related problems.

In my opinion the best (community) support at the moment is from Logitech. I have one and it works very well with the new-lg4ff driver. I know the creator, u/berarma, and I know that the support is active. If you need an opinion on models, the G27 (second hand) or the G29 work great on Linux with new-lg4ff.

Come on over to /r/hotasDIY. Best thing to do would be to get an STM32 Bluepill, get a 2 axis joystick from Adafruit (MPN: 245), get a breadboard (MPN: 4539), and some jumper wires (MPN: 1956). Then you can flash the Bluepill with Freejoy firmware and set it up with their configurator, no coding required.

FreeJoy is a nice firmware for a game controller, but the used "Blue Phil" (STM32F103C8 ) boards very poor - build quality, components.

Similar - FreeJoy, but for STM32F103C8 - 'Blue Phil" cards, even more cheap.

7: Software: Will use Freejoy in a custom made "blue pill" that sits in the handle. More on it later.

No, the joystick base has a gimbal with hall sensors (no wear) and it's fully analog XY sensing. It also has a hall analog twist axis built in the upper handle. It runs FreeJoy firmware on a custom shaped bluepill (STM32F103C8T6). It gets fully identified as a usb joystick and works as normal. It can accept about 25 direct buttons and 8 analog axis, or up to 256 buttons using an array with diodes (that's for simpits, I suppose).
